LOW TAX RATE.

Notwithstanding the hue and cry GER
tain parties are continually raising
about the waste and extravaganza in the
administration of the municipal govern
ment, st. Paul always turns up with the
lowest tax record of any city of its
wealth and population in the country.
If chewing the bag is proof of the pud-
ding, then st. Paul must have an eco
nOmically administered government.
For. whatever outcry certain class of
politicians may make about municipal
extravaganza, the taxpayers have no
reason to be included among the grum-
blerS. When we take into consideration
the youthfulness of the city, the rapid
ity of its growth and the rapidly in
creasing demands for public improve
ments, which are being met with ali the
expedition that human agencies can de-
wise, the wonder is that the city author
ties can keep the tax levy down to
twenty-mill assessment. Still it is done,
the improvements go on and everything
is kept up to the full standard of metro
pOlitan requirements.

ALLISON'S BREAK.

Senator ALLISON was selected by the
Republicans of Iowa to open the cam
paign in that state, on the suppOsition
that man who spent his time i'll Wash
ingtOn would be in position to impart
valuable political information and dis
cuss subjects which the people at home
were interested in hearing. This was a
grievous mistake. The average Wash
ington statesman probably knows no
more about the real needs of the country
than any other man. This is especially
true of senators who are in their second
or third term and have not mixed with
their constituents for eight or ten
years. Senator ALLISON proved no eX-
ceptiOn to the rule. In his speech at
West Union he confined himself to the
old Republican track, waving the bloody
shirt vigorously all the time, but never
once reverting to the iniquities of the
tariff. The farmers of Iowa are more
interested in cheap transportation and
a reduction of tariff duties than they are
in seeing the enSanguined garment un-
furled. Senator ALLISON ought to stay
away from Washington long enough to
catch on to home ideas.

PATRIOTIC MOVEMENT.

1t is given out that there is a move
ment on foot among the Grand Army
men of this city to cali on President
CLEVELAND in a body during his visit
to st. Paul, and that Judge REA has
given assurance that he will be here to
head them. This is patriotic move
ment of the Grand Army members
which not only deserves the highest
public commendation, but will also give
the Minnesota veterans distinguished
prestige. The alacrity with which
Judge REA is said to have responded to
the request to lead the movement is a
creditable beginning for the administra-
ton of the new eommander-in-chief. If
there is any class of citizens who are
expected to be conspicuous in manifest
ing their respect for the legally c0nsti-
tuted authorities of the land, it is the vet
Grams who riSked their lives for the
preservation of the government. 1t is a
matter that politics has nothing to do
with. 1t makes no difference SO far as
soldiers are concerned whether the
president of the United States is Dem
ocrat or a Republican or Mugwump.
He is the commandments of the
army and navy of the United States,
and as such is entitled to the respect due
his rank. The st. Paul veterans are
setting their comrades throughout the
length and breadth of this country an
example of patriotism worthy of all imi-
tatiOn.

Address of the National Farmers
ALLIANCE to the People OF the
.aTTnited States

Address of the National Farmers
sAlliance to the People of the
aUnit ted States.
sWe hold it to be the duty of every
patriotic citizen in a republic to be we'll
informed upon all matters pertaining to
the science of government. He should
understand and be able to discuss in
telligently all great questions of public
policy, as well as he understands and
discusses the affairs of his own imme-
diate surroundings. He ought to be as
well versed in political economy as he
is in domestic economy. This he ought
to be well informed upon, not only as a
public and patriotic duty, but also be-
cause of his own private interests.
For, to the great mass of citizens,
taken as body. the domestic economies
will avail little, except to enable them
to live upon less of their own earnings
while sinking lower in the scale of civ
iliZatiOn. if the policies of government
shall be directed against their just in
terests. The inhabitants of China are
probably the most economical people on
the globe; they can make dollar go
farther and get more off an acre of
land than any other civilized country;
yet, while they practice the domestic
economies to the utmost, the forces
which control their development only
tend to degrade them; there is more
hope for the new civilization springing
up on the Congo among the black saw
ages of Africa than for them.
Every patriotic citizen of the United
Stotes ought, with anxious care, as far
as he is able, to see to it that no detri-
ment comes to the republic, either
through his ignorance, his neglect, or

do animals ever have toothache:'' asks
correspondent. Of course they do. Man is
an animal that is plagued by the 'shelI o. dis
cases." as the Scotch poet terms it, without
limit But our correspondent doubtless re-
fers to the brute element of the animal king
dom. Yes, horses, cattle, sheep, and even
fish and fowl are subject to the same excru-
ciating torture. Everything that has tooth
must have nerve in it, and when once the
nerve is exposed the ache will come.

President CLEVELAND has gone from
Washington to st. Louis and is now back
at Chicago. He has seen a great deal
of new country on the trip and will see a
great deal more before he winds up his
JOurneyingS. Exactly what impressions
the country and the people have made
on him we are unable to say. But there
is no mistaking the impression he has
made ON TIE Western people. There has
been one continuous blaze of popular
enthusiasm. There are those who will
attribute the tremendous outpouring of
people at every point where the pres
ident has stopped to that strong element
of human nature-curioSity- the
peculiar eagerneSS of Americans
to gaze upon man. titled or
untitled. who personifies to the popu-
lar mind dignities or power. 1t is true
that there is always fascination attach
ing to the occupant of the highest post
Ofhonor in a nation. Ordinarily the pres
ence OF a president is a loadStone that
easily draws multitude, without regard
TO their party affiliations. But those who
have read the full accounts of the presi-
dental trip will be convinced that in this
instance there has been something else
than mere curiosity to attract the vast
crowds who have tiocked to see the dis
tinguished eXcursionist. The eagerness
to take his hand. the laundering cheers
that signal his appearance in public, the
God bless yOus" which are Showered
upon him when leaving town or city,
are all so many popular tributes to the
manliness and independence of chief
magistrate who has had the moral cour-
age to give practical demonstration of
his noble ideal of official duty expressed
i'll his declaration that public Office is
public trust.

STILL CLIMBING,

We find one of our exchanges lament
ing that the tendencies of modern cult
IRE and education in the direction of
making life easier are resulting in max
ing life aimlesS. Is this true? Has the
grumbling exchange solid foundation
for its complaint, or is it only the crea-
ton of morbid Imagination? If the
assertion is true, then modern ciyiliZa-
ton has been mistake, and the only
way to rectify it is to return as rapidly
as possible to the conditions which ex-
listed when men dwelt in caves and
clothed themselves with the skins of
wild beasts. But it is not true that life
Is more aimlesS now than then. Because
we can achieve greater things with less
eXertiOn than our ancestors is no argu-
ment that we are more ShiftleSS than
they. The result of our modern civili-
cation is to give men more leisure for
thought and reflection, to cultivate
the mind and the tastes, and build I'D
higher civilization. But it does not
necessarily enervate them. An over
Indulgence i'll luxury in any age or
country destroys physical vigor and
sleeps the mind in SenSuousneSs. But
laZiness in the hovel is just as detri-
mental TO mind and body as luxurious
ease i'll the palace, and just about as
common. The Digger Indian and the
licentious prince are good pair to draw
to when you are looking for specimens
of degenerate humanity SO that. after
all. the conditions of life do have 8
much to do with the development of
character as the disposition of the in
dividual. Because the early pioneers
required more physical vigor for their
work than we do for ours does not lessen
the grandeur of our achievements.
Human ambition is the same yesterday,
to-day and for all time. 1t is still
restless and unsatisfied, and if it
has compassed fields of triumph in the
past it is still pursuing new victories.
There is no limit to its eagerness. so
there can be no standing still place.
The human race is just fairly entering
upon its career of conquest. If we do
stand on a plane above the ages that
have gone before us, we also realize
that the summit of human achievements
is still long ways above us. Ii our
fathers had much to tempt them on to a
higher civilization, we have still more.
The surface broadens as we ascend. and
we catch more extended views of the
landscape beyond than they enjoyed.
Our conditions may seem luxurious in
comparison with theirs, yet our civili-
zation is primitive in comparison with
what lies beyond and above us. There
can be nothing aimless in the career of
human existence.

Five hundred people saw st. Paul go
down before Oshkosh yesterday after
noon. The visitors made nearly all
their hits and st. Paul's players nearly
all their errors in the second inning, and
the result was five runs. After this
inning Viau was hardly hit at all, and
he was finely backed up. Burdick was
wild throughout, and st. Paul had men
ON bases in every inning except the
ninth, but was only able to get three of
them across the plate. Wilmot's errors
were both excusable, being attempts to
catch flies for which he had to make
long runs. O'Connell's error, the muff
of hot liner from KelIogg's bat, was
also eXcuSable. McCauley's errors were
both very costly, the first letting in two
runs and the other one. Shafer made
two pretty catches, and Kellogg braced
up and did splendid days fielding.
His stop and throw of Wilson's hot
grounder in the fifth inning was mar
yelous piece of work, for which he was
roundly applauded. The game opened
with Oshkosh at bat, and neither side
scored in the first inning. In the sec
ond inning Hoy led off with a hit to
right field, took second on passed ball
and scored on Wilson's hit to center.

ONE FOR LA CROSSE.
WinkIeman Proves Mark for the
DOwn-Riyer BatSmen.

Winkleman had little or no control of
the ball for the first three innings in the
game at Minneapolis. yesterday, and the
La Crosse sluggers took advantage of it
and won the game. Boyle was hit often
and hard, but by good fielding several
runs were saved. Patton had an ''off''
day in the field, but was up to the stand
ard with the stick, making three hits
out of four times at bat. Lynch played
right field and is great improvement
over the last man whow placed there.
The visitors made five runs in the sec
ond on two phant0ms, three singles, two
wild pitches and an error. Two more
were added in the third ON an error,

oils made three in the third on two

passed ball, none of them being earned.
Kreig earned the only run for the home
team by making terrific drive over the
left-feld fence for home run. The
playing of Foster, Corbett, Hawes and
Kinzie in the field, together with the
stick work of Patton, Krieg, Merrick,
Lynch and Dwyer. were the features.
Following is the official score:

Mr.. VAN SLYKE makes the suggestion
that persons who intend to decorate their
buildings for the presidents reception
shall use streamers instead of the pro-
fusion of toy flags which are ordinarily
used on such occasions. ThesuggestioD
is an excellent one. There is a monot-

to substitute something else. Stream

the Liberals or non-Mormons elected ten

frequent convictions for polygamous prac-
Gces the Mormons still make no conces-
sions. and the issue is still squarely made be-
tween assumed revelations and the laws of
the land. The Edmunds act does not seem
to affect matters much, for since 1882 only
541 persons out of a population of $4,000
have been indicted for unlawful cohabitation,
and of these 2S9 were convicted and the ma
